Why? Because of direct recent intermixture?

As sad as it makes my Irish-American self, British and Irish are closer.

English-Irish, by a tad. Both are very close to each other though.

Sicily and Crete. Irish and English don't cluster togheder, Irish are more northern shifted with higher steppe influence.
